The threat is OBL.......I see it veryclearly. I don't see the threat from Saddam.

It's not that hard. Even if they are not the best of buddies (maybe they are too) both hate the US. Saddam is probably not dumb enough to use his WMD outright, but he could easily toss some to the Al-queda crazies that would use it in a heartbeat.

At the same time, Al-queda does not have a chance of developing WMD in caves...it takes a nation state.

Couple that with the fact that Saddam is a problem all by himself, that would get exponentially worse if he develops nukes, and that he is in constant violation of the UN etc. and he is definitely a place to start.

A post-Hussein Iraq is also seen as a way to introduce some stability into the whole region.

How is it that you don't see this?
